Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy) - Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital

What is Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy)?

Breast-conserving surgery, also known as a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove breast cancer while preserving as much normal breast tissue as possible. Unlike mastectomy, which removes the entire breast, lumpectomy focuses on removing only the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure complete cancer removal.

If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer and are exploring treatment options, consult our breast cancer specialists to discuss breast-conserving surgery and personalised care plans. 📞 Call us at [Hospital Contact Number] or visit [Hospital Website] to schedule an appointment.

Who Needs Breast-Conserving Surgery?

Breast-conserving surgery is recommended for women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer or smaller tumors where cancer has not spread extensively. It is suitable when:

The tumor is small relative to breast size.
Cancer is detected early.
There is no widespread involvement of surrounding tissues.
Radiation therapy post-surgery is acceptable for the patient.

At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, our expert breast surgeons evaluate each case individually to ensure breast-conserving surgery is the best treatment option for optimal cancer control and cosmetic outcomes.

Benefits of Lumpectomy

Recovery After Lumpectomy

Most patients can return to routine activities within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Strenuous physical activity and lifting heavy objects should be avoided for a few weeks to allow proper healing. Minor discomfort, swelling, or changes in breast shape are common but improve over time. Our surgical team and nursing staff provide continuous guidance throughout recovery to ensure comfort and confidence.
